Love it!
"Life is to short to smoke a bad cigar"
I think this has become my favorite quote. As many of the FOGs on here may remember, that was Cle's signature on here for many years. Reading that quote just brings back a lot of good memories for me. Cle could stuff more cigars into a 50 count than anyone I know.
RIP Mr50count Allabaton
You're missed, but not forgotten.

Well said, Walter. I was too new when he fell ill, and I never got a chance to know him. I looked up to his posts.
This one is not as entertaining as others. However it is informative.
The back ground, this quote from Juan Jose Lopez Freire was taken from an interview he gave with a digital cigar magazine right now only available on the ipad format. the magazine is called Amature Cigar it is published in English from France.
Juan Freire is the tasting director for Habanos SA, he is also in charge of all new blends created by Habanos SA. In addition he trains all of those appointed to the tasting committees.
When asked about woody flavors he states
"For us Cubans, it is simple. The woody flavors exist but we consider that most of the time it is the consequence of packaging. Boxes and sheets of cedar very easily mix their odor with the cigars."

What this country needs is a really good five cent cigar.

These are some mighty fine cigar quotes. It got me thinking about the conversations I've had with friends while enjoying a nice cigar, and something that struck a chord with me and has stuck with me for a long time. I'll paraphrase what one buddy said, not a famous quote so I don't think anyone will care, this was his reply when a I said the stick he offered me was too expensive to hand out;
A cigar only has monetary value up to the moment it's purchased. All value after that becomes enjoyment value. I get a lot of enjoyment smoking my cigars, but that value doubles when I give them away. I enjoy sharing with you and then you enjoy smoking the stick. So unless you want my investment to depreciate, take the damn cigar!

Hahaha. Absolutely love this. It's so true, too.
" I don't trust air I can't see" - Gene Hackman in Crimson Tide, smoking a cigar on a submarine.
Mark Twain, On the Nicotine Nannies:
"I don't want any of your statistics; I took your whole batch and lit my pipe with it.
I hate your kind of people. You are always ciphering out how much a man's health is injured, and how much his intellect is impaired, and how many pitiful dollars and cents he wastes in the course of ninety-two years' indulgence in the fatal practice of smoking; and in the equally fatal practice of drinking coffee; and in playing billiards occasionally...
... And you never try to find out how much solid comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment a man derives from smoking in the course of a lifetime (which is worth ten times the money he would save by letting it alone), nor the appalling aggregate of happiness lost in a lifetime by your kind of people from not smoking. Of course you can save money by denying yourself all those little vicious enjoyments for fifty years; but then what can you do with it? What use can you put it to? Money can't save your infinitesimal soul. All the use that money can be put to is to purchase comfort and enjoyment in this life; therefore, as you are an enemy to comfort and enjoyment where is the use of accumulating cash?"

Not my favorite, but one that explains why I like cigars that last for two hours

Best post of this thread, by far.

I smoke 10 to 15 cigars a day, at my age I have to hold onto something!
